Why we read it this way (8)
This position is contingent on Lockheed Martin winning a contract with an estimated award date of October 2026; any offer will include a contingency clause.
The Basic Qualifications require experience with at least ONE of several listed Systems Integration functions (trade studies, requirements/ICD development, integration/test/verification, test planning, design reviews) — not all are required simultaneously. The role is gated on the category, not every specific function.
Similarly, the tools requirement is satisfied by experience with at least ONE of the listed tools (IBM DOORS, CAMEO Systems Modeler, MATLAB, Windchill, Creo Parametric or other CAD/MBSE/requirements-management software). These are listed as a group under Basic Qualifications, so the category is a hard gate; the specific tools are interchangeable alternatives. CAMEO Systems Modeler and Windchill are captured as alternatives to IBM DOORS since they serve overlapping requirements-management/MBSE functions; MATLAB and Creo Parametric are listed separately as they serve distinct functions.
The degree must be from an ABET-accredited program in any engineering or technical discipline — no specific major is specified beyond that accreditation requirement.
All items under 'Desired Skills' are soft skills and general engineering abilities with no named technologies; none were emitted as skills per extraction rules.
No compensation range is stated in the posting.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): Systems Engineering.
Requires a Secret clearance — the cleared population is a small fraction of this occupation, so the real candidate pool is materially smaller than the estimate below, which does not model clearance.
